Bureaux de Change

Forget any worries that if you use a Bureau de Change at Heathrow you will pay through the nose for the privilege. The charges levied will always match or better the rates set by the principal UK clearing banks, and the bureaux guarantee availability of all currencies relevant to the destinations served directly by Heathrow. (The supply of some currencies may be subject to legal restrictions). As a token of its commitment as a top-quality currency exchange service, BAA guarantees that passengers at Heathrow will be able to buy up to £500 in each of ten major currencies in each of the Terminals at any time. If they fail to meet that standard of service, they guarantee to pay the passenger the balance of their desired exchange plus a bonus payment of £500 in Sterling Travellers Cheques.

The locations of Bureaux de Change are shown on the maps in the Arrivals and Departures sections of this Guide. All have long hours of opening, and 24 hour facilities are available in the Arrivals halls of T1, T3 and T4.
